Submit your full script, your bio, AND a one-pager of your loglines. Your chosen exec will read this material prior to your one-hour call. You’ll not only discuss story notes, but also what your next steps should be based on your bio, loglines, and goals.

MARKETING BONUS! If you receive a rating of Excellent or Virtually Flawless in at least four out of five categories (Logline and Formatting/Ease of Reading excluded) on your consultation feedback report, we'll do one round of personalized marketing to 5 execs for this screenplay for free!

Testimonials

By far the best script feedback I've received. Val was clear about what worked, specific about what didn't, offered practical fixes and most importantly, wasn't afraid to name the elephant in the room - something prior exec's were unable or unwilling to do. But it's the absolute game-changer and I am beyond grateful.

~ Stacy Bannerman, Author & Screenwriter

Practical and extraordinarily personalized. Val is confident and able to help, not the usual cookie cutter responses. Amazing how many teachable moments I received from Val. The first 15 pages have been looked at before, but she educated me on gaps that other consulting professionals missed or passed on. You are very lucky to have her.

~ Tricia Tribble, Screenwriter

How it Works

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. Please be sure to select Career Coaching as your consultation type on your material submission form, so that you are able to submit all supplemental materials on the same form. Provide your script, writer bio, and one-pager of your loglines (to include Title, Format, Genre, and Comps with each logline). After submitting your material, please allow 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec.

**Please note screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation for a screenplay exceeding 120 pages.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's Code of Conduct.

MARKETING BONUS! If you receive a rating of Excellent or Virtually Flawless in at least four out of five categories (Logline and Formatting/Ease of Reading are excluded) on your consultation feedback report, we'll do one round of personalized marketing to execs (up to 5) for this screenplay for free!

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
